what kind of freak are you?

I’m working on a set of t-shirts for the Global Spin community (plus a secret project I’ll unveil later this month). I have a couple designs mocked up already and a decent place to make and sell them, and I’ve run into a bit of a snag.

There are too many kinds of freaks.

That’s ordinarily not a problem for us. We protect our freaks, no matter what kind. But I’m having trouble thinking of a complete list, let alone designs for them all, so I need your help. Where should I start? What kind of freak are you?

  • Transit Freak
  • Neat Freak
  • Sci-Fi Freak
  • Space Freak
  • Plant Freak
  • Super-Freak
  • Geek Freak
  • just plain Freak
  • other (specify)
  • some kinda freak, i’m not sure what
  • I’m not a freak, freak!

And remember, this is for posterity so be honest. Include as many categories as you think apply. For instance, I’m a Transit Freak, a Sci-Fi Freak, a Space Freak, a Science Freak, and a Geek Freak. Like they say: I’m not just the founder, I’m a client.

So let your freakness shine. What kind of freak are you, anyway?

UPDATE: Just to be clear, I’m looking for your complete list, not just the freakishness that isn’t on the list yet.  Be complete!

a bit of cleanup

You may have noticed things shifting around on the page here.  I’m adding back in some of the stuff we used to have on the page, like links to friends and the calendar and such.  Let me know if something you knew and loved isn’t here yet, and I’ll pop it back on in a jiffy.

Making the site look like something other than the default WordPress theme will take a bit longer than a jiffy, but I’m working on it.  I’m also working on Global Spin themed t-shirts, but who knows whether I’ll unleash those on the world.  (Hint: there’s a distinct “freak” theme.)

another three-year anniversary

…but unlike some, a happy one! A little over three years ago, my “Hello, World!” post inaugurated Global Spin, The Blog. (Previously, it was just Global Spin, The Sometimes-Updated Site with News In Reverse Chronological Order.)

It seems appropriate that today is the day I flip the switch on the new WordPress blog, in all its not-customized-yet glory. Happy reading, and thank you!
